My Mascara Has Dried: How I Catch It Up in 30 Seconds!
A very dry mascara is, alas, so banal!
But don't throw it away right away. It can still be useful.
A makeup artist friend told me her secret to extending the life of a tube of mascara.
Here's how to catch him in seconds. We have two solutions:
- one that works quickly but does not last over time,
- the other which is a little longer, but which allows you to start again for several days of use!
The quick method
In the morning, when it's panic and the mascara tube is all stuck and all dry, here is the quick method given to me by a makeup artist friend!
1. Remove any packets of mascara that have formed on the brush.
2. Run the brush under a stream of lukewarm water.
3. Shake well so that no large drops are trapped in it.
4. Immerse the brush in the reservoir. You can go back and forth several times if the mascara is really very pasty!
And hop, the lukewarm water has diluted a little of the black cream, enough to be able to put some this morning!
In the evening, when you have more time in front of you, here is how to take care of this refractory dry mascara.
The more sustainable method
The second solution, thank you my makeup artist friend, softens the rest of the paste in the tube.
If the mascara has dried out or is starting to get mushy, here's the trick that works:
1. Fill a tall glass or bowl with hot water. The water must not be boiling, otherwise the plastic tank will deform.
2. Then close the case tightly and immerse it in the container for a few minutes.
The product will melt under the effect of heat and regain a creamy texture.
Bonus tip
To avoid ending up with a dry mascara, be sure to close your tube tightly after you are done using it.
Avoidtooto bring the brush in and out repeatedly. This gesture allows air to penetrate, which dries up the product!
So, convinced? This trick has saved me more than once in the morning or on vacation when I didn't have other tubes on me!
Savings made
A basic mascara costs between 7 and 13 €.
If I have to buy one every two months that makes an annual budget of 40 to 80 €! With these clever little tips, I no longer need to throw away my mascara while there is still product in it.
By extending the life of my makeup, I manage to divide my mascara purchases by 2, which means savings of up to € 40 per year.
